XvZ

By Matt Stanley

Reality TV reaches a new high (or low) with XvZ: a show in which GenX intellectuals have to share a house with GenZ social media stars. The name of the game - to integrate and empathise across the generation gap. For big money.

What happens when a History professor shares a room with an OnlyFans girl? Can the Creative Writing teacher help the YouTuber make better videos? Will any of them find anything in common? Prepare for misunderstanding, insults and brutal competition. Will youth or experience win?

XvZ is a satire about the generational gulf and about our culture in general. What is talent? What is art? Is identity a creation? How much choice do we really have? And what is reality, anyway?

The contestants:

The XERS - cynical, iconoclastic, text-focused, with pre-Internet childhoods

James: The Creative Writing professor
Syllit: The conceptual artist
Liz: The social anthropologist
Mora: The AI guru
Gareth: The History professor

The ZEES - idealistic, socially conscious, image-driven digital natives

Jake: The fitness influencer
Jane: The stand-up comedian
Diamond: The OnlyFans/Instagram girl
Danny: The YouTuber
Coco: The singer.
